New Catalyst Drivers 9.9

Recommended Posts


FYI, I wouldn't be too eager to update from 9.8 to 9.9. For some reason, the 9.9 installation of Catalyst in XP SP3 is porked. Don't have time this morning to sort it out, but will get back to this later today.

ATI has apparently made some improvements in their installation routines (their installation notes were a bit unclear).

 

In the past, you've been required to uninstall drivers and Catalyst softwares before upgrading to the latest driver and Catalyst softwares, but no longer. You only have to uninstall your current drivers and Catalyst Control Panel if you are running legacy drivers. Drivers for legacy cards can be found here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.13&lang=English

 

I had problems because I uninstalled 9.8 drivers and Catalyst Control Panel and installed the new 9.9 release, but Catalyst Control Panel didn't install properly. So I uninstalled 9.9, reinstalled 9.8, and then installed 9.9 over 9.8. Presto, everything worked fine. BHaH runs great, as before.

I've tested them in Win7 and I've the same performance as 9.8.

I've read the change log and it seems this was more a fix than a performance drive.
